Python interprets '/' in an integer environment to return ints, not
floats. You can either turn one of your arguments into floats:

>>> float(1 * 100) / 3
33.333333333333336

This is going to change. Not sure when. You can ask for the new behavior:

>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 100 / 3
33.333333333333336
